1) My name is completely made up, yes it got withdrawn from the deep, empty recesses of my disturbed mind.

2) I have two X chromosomes, WHOOT! IM FEMALE!

3) 15, South Africa and no, I dont own a lion

4) Difficult question. I suppose it could happen if the director and actors have a scarily good understanding of Pratchett.

5) a friend gave me The Fifth Elephant when I was about 12 and I never looked back.

6) My quote? Im SPECIAL!

Hi Ellistra, do you own a gazelle?

Hello Ellistra!
If they're ex-chromosomes, what are they now?

1)I read mainly from the scifi/fantasy section of bookstores, and play video games that could be classified as the same.
2)Look at my name.
3)Teen, United States.
4)Suckage is in the eye of the beholder. I never liked British humor as portrayed on screen, but my friend (known as human here) doesn't mind it.
5)Human recommended it. I hope to avoid the near-illiteracy and general incompetentce prevalent on most non-book based forums.

Hello, Ellistra! A very nice name it is. If you don't own a lion, what do you own? A kiwi? No, those live in the Philippians, or maybe Indonesia. And emu perhaps? Do those live in Africa?

Hello to you as well, sif1girl! Your Avatar appears to be an amine character. May I ask who they are? Heck, I don't care if I may or not. Who are they? Mine's Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. A friend of Human, are you? Pleased to meet you! Human has made nothing but a good impression on me. Welcome to the board!

My avatar is Goku from Saiyuki, my favorite anime. I haven't actually been watching it lately--the new "reload" season doesn't deserve to have the word "Saiyuki" in front of it. I've been contenting myself with a weekly episode of FMA, but I heard that the Reload manga isn't as bad as the anime.

I know for a fact; manga is almost always better than anime. Some of the filler episodes they make are just... gah. With the possible exception of Chrono Crusade. Those filler episodes are just cute. And I hear the Fruits Basket anime isn't bad. But Kenshin... They changed the name, and I didn't recognize the characters when I saw them! And they changed it to such a bad name... er, sorry. Didn't mean to turn that into a rant.

1) Well..........Emblebee/Bemblebee has somehow occured as my nickname, which shows how cool and edgy i'm considered to be, lol. I think the addition of 'Darth' was in an attempt to add some of the above :roll:

2) I'm a lass, me.

3) 17, Norfolk, Eastern England

4) Oh hell, i don't know.......i feel ill at the very suggestion i must admit :? Personally i think Pterry's style of writing is very cinematic in itself, with the switching of scenes, panning in and out, etc, which somehow makes it even more unfilmable. Though, along with the rest of you, i'd obviously go and see any attempt

5) Oh wow Ellistra!! (aargh, multiple exclamation marks......) I've never found anyone else who started with 5th Elephant as well!! I mean, it's a pretty random starting point. Meant i was in love with Sam from the word go though, lol.

6) "Do not blame God for having created the tiger, but thank him for not giving it wings" : sometimes hard to follow, but you can but try.

Hi, sorry about that, I went to bed a while after writing that post. Ill probably be asleep when someone replys to this so please excuse my rudeness! No, I dont own an emu but I do go to school on the back of an elephant. Sorry, I dont know gazelle but I do know koshure (I think thats how she spells it), we go to the same school. Just to warn you not to expect much of a reply within a day unless im on really early!

Hiya Darth Bemblebee! Bemblebee! Nice name. I like it. Dumbledore means bumblebee, if that makes you feel any cooler about your nickname.

An elephant? Really, Ellistra? Or are you just pulling our legs? :cooler:

This is my 100th post! :partyman:

Thanks, your knightliness. Yup, i knew that about Dumbledore.....and he did rock quite significantly in the last book. As opposed to on screen. :( Unhappy Bob agrees with my disaproval.

Congrats on your postal birthday! This is my fourth post! Woohoo! lol

Why thank you, Bemblebee! I agree with you and unhappy Bob. The movies don't do Dumbledore justice.
